Course Description

This course provides an introductory overview of modern Armenian history, spanning from the 19th century when Armenians lived across the Ottoman, Iranian, and Russian empires up to the present. It covers key historical events, including Ottoman reforms, Armenian revolutionary movements, the Armenian Genocide, periods of independence, Soviet rule, and the emergence of the Republic of Armenia in 1991. While the history of modern state in Armenian experience is a crucial aspect of the course, it also places a substantial focus on understanding Armenians as an intersectional community crossing imperial, national, and regional boundaries and belongings. The course employs innovative methods, primary sources, and digital materials to provide a comprehensive understanding of Armenian history and culture in a global context.
